So much for openness...

Sorry about that. But you really know better after all of these years. We love you.

And this wasn't even about the political arguments here at home...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh. Whahappened?

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

I was guilty of TMI in one case, and being too open and vulnerable in a couple of others. My problems...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well, I'm the TMI queen, so forgive the look of skepticism, but I'm sorry you were bitten. *hugs* if you want them.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the thoughts :)

[geekchick]

Uh oh. Ping me off-journal?

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-).

Sometimes TMI saves you more pain and hurt down the road. Sometimes.

[mikz.livejournal.com]

I pretty much adopt TMI as a policy. I think people appreciate the consistency, and it saves me keeping track of "who knows what?"

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

I like it, actually, but I fear that I bore others by rambling on about personal details...

[mikz.livejournal.com]

I have that fear, too, which is why I write so much personal stuff in LJ. People can simply skip my entries if they don't care enough to read them. I don't want to trap them with such ramblings in real life...

[p3aches.livejournal.com]

I like your real life ramblings. They add flavor and charater to you.

[mikz.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so, and I'm sure many people agree! And I'm sure many people disagree. This way everybody wins.

But thanks! =)

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

If the other party(ies) are ready to hear it, agreed... if not, then it just bores them.

[who-is-she.livejournal.com]

uh......you were not guilty of TMI with me.
I'm feeling like our conversation last night ended weirdly.
I didn't understand what happened.
(we usually take about 20 minutes to actually END an IM session. but that one ended very abruptly!)

I will hope to hear from you again soon.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

True, that ended weirdly... but not unexpectedly, there's an underlying dynamic that simply played out.

I don't know what this is about but I'm sorry that whatever it is has led you to want to be less open.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I have to do some personal processing to figure out what (and who...) is safe, as far as filtering and boundary defense goes.

Openess

[p3aches.livejournal.com]

Brian, Last timne I saw you, your openess was amazing. In fact it has helped me be more open. I like it when i feel your being open with me. And there is nothing you can say that is Tmi. Hugs T

Re: Openess

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Hugs are appreciated. :)

Re: Openess

[p3aches.livejournal.com]

and returned . How are things today?

[raddy.livejournal.com]

OK, i'm ignorant. What is TMI?

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Too Much Information = TMI... often in the context of droning on and on after others have ceased to listen. Or furnishing details that generate a *squick* response in those reading.
